Yonex Percept 100 vs Ezone 98 2022

[Komtriku]

Hello,
I m just returning to play tennis after 4Months of PT,Exercises and training to recover from a shoulder Impingment syndrom that caused me bursitis and labrum tear grade 1.
my usual racket is a yonex ezone 98 wirh 23/2kg polytour rev.

My set up now: wilson shift 99L 22/22 isospeed cream/Velocity.
It s lighter and lower swing weight.
BUT it s not for me: i need to make more efforts to gain depth in my strokes and i need to swing fast to reach that.
Unfortunately due to the injury i am not yet able to swing so fast to produce depth. Fast and sudden movements hurt my shoulder more that a slow and long swing.

Which one do you suggest between Percept 100 or ezone 100?
i need depth with slow and long swing without stressing my shoulder too much.

If you want easier depth from the lowest static-weight package possible, without swinging harder, you basically have three options:

1) use lower-tensioned strings for more trampoline effect
2) use higher-power string(s) (ex: velocity/multifeel, instead of cream/velocity)
3) increase swing weight (via lead @ 12, which increases static weight as little as possible)

If you can do a combo of all of the above -- drop tension, switch to velocity/multifeel, and bump swing weight a good 5-10 points, chances are that will get you all the free depth you need, new racquet notwithstanding.

For that purpose i find the Percept better. Maybe even try the 100D.
Imo you have to put lead on the Ezone to get some easy depth.

100D is less powerful than Percept 100 and Ezone 100.

I would suggest trying Vcore 100 if you want to stay in Yonex. Most powerful yet softest among the 100s in Yonex.

Thanks but wilson is going tonbe sold anyway. I basically like yonex more

I thought 22gr is lower enough. Lead at 12, i can only add 1gr because otherwise the sw is going to be almost higher than my ezone 98.

yeah, i just have my problems with the percept 100. i saw 2 them crack in he throat area while hitting. maybe really better to go for the vcore 100.

Odd, my buddy just the other day showed me one he had with the same crack. Said he has had 3 or 4 crack in the same spot.

Well documented already on the 100's and 100D's in the VCP/Percept thread:

Base of the throat:

2023 Yonex VCore Pro Racquets / 2024 Percept Racquets

Abandon full poly in the Percepts and Aux GPro. Give in to gut/poly. There lies greatness and also madness. Talk to me Goose What will this mean? More plush. More power. Larger sweet spot? More depth? Feel?

Also across the bridge on the 100D, which I don't have a picture of at the moment, but if you search for it you'll see enough references. Karue broke 3 frames of his first batch of 100D's. I think Yonex replaced them for him; not sure though.
